Environmental Stressors and Aquatic Life: A Molecular Perspective

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the aquaculture industry has experienced rapid development, with numerous varieties and farming models being continuously introduced. However, diverse challenges are encountered during the farming process. Disorder of aquatic environmental factors have a significant impact on aquaculture, and both traditional and industrial farming models are subject to the stress of these environmental factors. This Special Issue is dedicated to conducting relevant basic research to develop healthy aquaculture practices.

This Special Issue encourages the publication of original studies and reviews related to aquatic organisms (fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, and algae), including but not limited to various aspects of aquaculture, especially environmental stress, aquatic biology, endocrinology, ecology, physiology, toxicology, pathology, and their related molecular mechanisms.
